Ilkay Gundogan 'Expecting to Sign New Manchester City Deal' Despite Interest From Ajax

​Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan is expecting to be offered a new contract with the Premier League champions after the club's busy schedule cools down with the upcoming international break.

Gundogan has made himself an important player for Pep Guardiola's side since recovering from a horrific knee injury, helping them to a Premier League and EFL Cup double last season, and is reportedly happy at the club, with no intention of moving elsewhere despite apparent interest in his signature.

​City will play Spurs, Southampton and ​Manchester United in the ​Premier League, with a Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk and an EFL Cup tie with Fulham thrown in for good measure, before the next break gets underway in a fortnight's time.

According to a source at the ​Sun, it's then that Gundogan is expecting to be offered terms to extend his stay at the Etihad.

“Ilkay expects to be given and will sign a new contract. There is interest elsewhere but he is happy here," they said.
